Veterans Day permission slip

Be on the look out for this Veterans Day program permission slip. It should arrive home this evening or tomorrow. If your child will be participating, please sign and return the bottom section of the note to me before Nov. 10.

Veterans Day preparations are underway

In music class we have been learning lyrics to our patriotic songs and reading about the history of Veterans' Day and the branches of our military.  We also have been making decorations to post at our Veteran's Day program and writing letters to present to our veterans at the show.

We are off to a great year!

This week all music classes worked on creating our social contracts, practicing drills and thinking about what music classroom jobs we may need this year.  In the coming weeks we will begin to write our mission statement for music class this year.  We will be learning and practicing the school song as well as begin our preparations for the annual Veteran's Day program.  

Remember there is no school on Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.

Have a restful weekend!
